The FARMERS of Campbell county, in con-
vention assembled, have pledged themselves
to support no man or party which does not
adopt as his or its leading policy the reduc.
ton of duties upon imports to strictly rev.
enue basis. Now, such pledge proves that
the farmers Of Campbell not only believe in
the true and prescriptive democratic doc
trine of low tariff, but that they are also
wise enough to know what is best for their
own individual interests. If the farmers OF
all the other counties in the country were as
wise as those of the one referred to in this
State, they would not only better their own
condition, but that of the vast majority OF
their fellow countrymen; certainly that OF
every poor man.

MR.. SHERMAN says the democrats are re-
spon,ible for the accumulation of money in
the Treasury. Aud he says this in the face
of the fact known to every we'll informed
American citizen, that save only and except
for the republicans in Congress, aided by
Mr.. Randall's small so called democratic
contingent, the accumulation referred to
would have long since been stopped by re-
duction Of the tariff from protective to
revenue basis.

Now IT is in Westchester, Penn, and
among good and true republicans, that the
color line has developed itself, the white
Baptists of that town having refused to al
low the remains of an old colored woman Of
their congregation to be buried in their
cemetery. Yes, the line referred TO is truly
irrepressible, and manifests itself alike in
the North and in the South, and among re-
publicans as we'll as democrats. Nothing
is better demonstrated than the fact that the
progeny of miscegenation cease to be pro
creative after the third or fourth generation

THE SECOND of July approaches rapidly.
As Rev. DR.. McGlynn has positively and
alphabetically refused to obey the order of
the head of his church to 60 to Rome and
be tried by an ecclesiastical court for preach
ing doctrines contrary to those OF his
church. and az the time allowed him for
obeying that order will expire on the day
referred to- he will, in all probability, on
that day, be publicly communicated. Dr.
McGlynn, 40 a man, has an indisputabie
right to advocate any opinion he may
choose: but as Catholic priest be has no
right to preach doctrines antagonistic to
those of the Catholic Church. If he really
believe that poor mans lot or farm
should be taken away from him without
compensation, he should have withdrawn
from the church before he commenced to
preach that unchristan doctrine, and his
failure 10 do SO detracts considerably from
his reputation not only as Christian but
as a man, as it shows desire to reap the
present advantages of the church while at
tempting to undermine the church's doc
trines. If he had been accommodated
when he first began 10 advocate the CON-
munistic land theory of Mr.. George, it
would have been better for both Church

The EGYPTIAN CoNyENTIoN.-Th Egyp-
tian question, which was SO positively
announced few weeks ago as settled, has
been growing more unsettled ever since
its exact shape and bearings are difficult to
mako out. The treaty which came so near
being signed that its signature was actually
announced as fact, much to the financial
betterment of several spectators who were
long Of Egyptian consuls, has hung fire
until now it is understood that Lord Sails
bury's government no longer care to sign it
nj all. They will content themselves with
secret understanding with the Porte that
If British troops are substantially withdrawn
from Egypt Great Britain shall have the
exclusive right TO reoccupy the country if
such action ever again becomes q military
necessity. The way out of the difficulty is
welcomed by the Sultan, who has been
greatly perpleXed as to the advisable course
for him to pursue. Russia ana France both
threatened trouble for him if he signed the
convention giving Eugland the sole protec.
torate over Egypt. France, however,
would have dropped her opposition il
Russia had not insisted upon hers. Russia
has practically won another victory over
England and eastern diplomacy. The
Muscovite contempt for English statesman.
ship can hardly be wondered u. in view of
these repeated retreats CT the westerners
after the silent battles of intrigue. The
French Government has sent note to the
sultan, in which it distinctly refuses to &C.
cept the situation which will result from the
signing of the Egyptian convention with
England, and says that if the convention be
ratified France will take measures necessary
TO protect her interests, which will be en-.
dangered by the disturbance, of the euuilib.
rum OF the Mediterranean. On the other
hand, France offers formal assurance that
she will protect and guarantee the Sultan
against whatever consequence may result, if
he will refuse to ratify the convention. By
so doing, the note says, the Sultan will
strengthen the lies of friendship between
France and Turkey and protect bis country
from the cncroachments and ambition of
England
Upon receipt of this note the council of
ministers was summoned, and note to the
Powers was drafted, complaining of French
interference in the internal affairs of Tur-
key. The note will be submitted to the
Sultan for approval.
1t is rumored that Russian troops are
advancing from Kars as menace to Tur-
key.
: The London Morning Post says: "The
Egyptian negotiations have reached an
acute stage. France threatens to break off
diplomatic relations with the Porte and re-
sumo her claims regarding the protection of
the Oriental Holy places if the convention
Do ratified. while Russia demands recon.
pence in the direction of Erzeroum. The
Porte, therefore, asks England whether, 10

lion, Turkey can rely upon the effective
fuliliment of the convention relating to
Cyprus. A reply to this note has not yet
been received at Constantinople."

Managing Editor OF Ne,O Orleans Picayuae
DEAR SIR-In your issue of this morning
there is copied from the Chicago Inter 0cedA
what purports to be letter written by ma
to Col. Phocion Howe, Danvlle, ILL.,, from
Beauvoir, Miss, June 90 The letter above
described is barefaced forgery, the author
of which did not qualify himself for his
fraudulent purpose by learning from persons
in the neighborhood of Danvile, from
ns might have enabled him TO make his fic-
ton less palpatly Incredible Please give
this place in your next issue, and send a
marked copy TO the Inter Ocean, that the
imposition practiced upon it may be exposed
where it was put in circulation. Yours, re-
specially, JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Mr.. Davis stated in an informal CONVERSE
ton with representative of the Picaptne.
and not for publication, that the views ex.
pressed in the spurious letter are precisely
the reverse of those actually entertained by
him. The troops in the Union army
were all mustered into the Federal service.
The States. as such, had no troops in the
war, and consequently all military stores
and trophies captured became the property
of the general Government, and subject 10
the control and at the disposition Of Con-
gress only. Confederate flags had from
time to time been returned to Southern
States by Northern Legislatures rnd various
military associations There was in reality
no authority under the Jaw for these acls OF
courtesy but the matter was not considered
of material importance, and the question:
was never raised until the issuaDce Of :fe
recent order by Mr.. Cleveland MIR. Davis
declared that he had resisted al! attempts of
men to interview him on this
subject, and would have remained silent
but for this remarkable and unique swinale,
which he denounced over ard over in gen
eral and in detail as false in every respect.

Immediately his face heightened and he set up

she offered to buy ten cents worth in order
to get rid Of him. No, he wanted her to in

Progress Of Poland.

There has been remarkable development
in the manufacturing industry of Poland dur
ing the past few years. According to the re-
port Of Mr.. Grant, British consul at Warsaw,
there were in 1894 over $500 factories of one
kind or another in the kingdom, employing
los 800 hands, while twelve years before the
number employed was but 1000. Large for
tunes are being made by the manufacturers,
who are principally Germans and Polish
Jews LODI is the Polish Manchester. The
place has grown from a small place of 10000
population in 1860 to a great manufactur ing
city of 80, 900 souls, and containing 165 mills
and factories, employing 1000 hands. The
mills of LODI work up every year about 1885,.
600 bales of cotton. Sixty per cent. Of the
population are of German nationality, and
about three-fourths of this proportion have
been naturalized as Russian subjects.-De-
